Vela 0.5.2426

on GitHub

What's new in 0.5.2426

• Driving follows Google's route wherever it differs from the open router, so closures and local detours are respected; a turn is named only when the map is sure of the street
• A new look: photo result cards, a Google-style drive bar, a real landscape layout, round map buttons, sheets that slide and follow a back swipe, and Google Sans Flex as the default font
• Roads draw at their real width with the route line on them, alternate routes stand out, and 3D buildings rise when you tilt the map
• In a drive, the road name under the car is the street's own name, a freeway shows its number with the direction its signs give ("I 80 E"), and the road's shield rides on the route line
• Trips with stops are fixed: a stop counts as reached again, so a reroute no longer sends you back through one you already visited, and leaving a saved route takes you on from where you are
• Smoother at the start of a drive, while panning or spinning the map mid-drive, and zoomed all the way in on a dense downtown; a pinch zooms at any pace and can turn the map in the same gesture; an idle map uses much less battery
• A Google Maps trip link opens as the trip it describes: plan a route with stops on a desktop, then paste the link into search or tap it, and it opens with its stops and the points you dragged it through
• Save a route or a trip with stops and start it in one tap, pin a trip to the home screen, and keep a drive that went its own way; trips take up to 10 stops
• "Open now" asks Google for the places open now, so a late search finds what is still open
• Lists: select several places to move or remove, and give a list a sound that plays when you drive past one of its places
• Transit lines on the map in their own colors, station and line names in your language, options for fewer transfers and less walking, and transit directions with Google off
• Offline: download just the part of a region you frame, long drives route in under a second, and offline search finds the places on the map
• Draw lines and areas on the map, and open Google My Maps links with their pins and shapes
• Android Auto gets nearby gas, food, coffee, parking and charging, Saved and Settings on the car's home screen, and a map that pans and pinches; Android Automotive is supported
• The first run asks whether to route around license plate cameras and warn you near them
• Speed camera warnings show a card as well as speaking, the arrival card can save your parking spot, and two keys of your choice can zoom the map
• "Traffic-light guidance" works: "Pass the traffic light, then turn left" (English, off by default)
• No location indoors on GrapheneOS? Vela shows a tip with a button to the Network location setting
• Street View works again after Google switched off the old lookup, and viewed panoramas are kept for offline
• Fixed: a crash on Android 9, a failed start on Android 14, empty search results on Android 16, reroutes that told a moving car to turn around, a drive that never ended when you parked short of the last turn, and, with Google off, routes that cut through farm tracks
• New languages: Estonian, Kurdish (Kurmanji) and Brazilian Portuguese
